Well we have a few years between here and Needless 2 (even more if it isn't starting at Chapter 101).

I'm actually getting more excited for 74 coming out in a week or so.

I'm curious to what you guys think will happen with Mio. Her goal from being with Cruz was that she wanted to find Blade and that's happened. Is she just going to join up with Blade&Co and follow them around? I'm hoping so! (Might bring in Setsuna and Kuchinashi into the story more!!) And we've all had the speculation that her Power fragment hasn't really been demonstrated effectively in her one fight she's been in (Third Shelter) and thought that her power would awaken into a true Power fragment. I'm guessing this might be brought up soon and perhaps start here in Chapter 74.

Also, what do you think will happen to Rin and BQ in Chapter 74+. Are they going to be members and hang around Blade&Co or just go back to their respective homes? They seem like great fighters but with Seto and Solva back, it doesn't seem like they're needed. I'm kinda curious to see how Rin's personality would fit in with the group if she stays.

And who do you think the next fight will be between? This is pretty much our first big fight since Arclight (with the main cast at least. St. Rose was just between the girls in the academy). I'm wondering if Saten will get in a real fight this time where he actually tries instead of just playing around. Wishful thinking on my part, probably...

Saten has glasses. Mio is wearing bloomers. Also noticed their neck-piece are different colors

Kinda interested at what this school would be like.

Edit: Also, I'm kinda wondering what Mio will do with the group now. I'm wondering how her chemistry with Seto/Solva and most importantly, Blade, will be in the future chapters. Also wondering what Rin will bring, but seeing her personality. Be kinda funny with her and Solva together. BQ I don't know much about, and I'm guessing he'd go look for orichalcum somewhere else. Kana should help build Disk's body so I see her staying for the time being. Guess that makes Blade + 7 girls (I'm going to count Yamada as a girl just because) It's like the reverse of snow white!

About, Saten, I said before. Considering all he did, I don't think he'll fight again. If he does, it will be to give the main cast some aid, and in the final battle I can see him aiding them once more and leaving the battlefield, and in turn abandon Arclight.

It's the main reason why I think he'll live to be in Needless 2. He's a mastermind, up until now, Arclight has been unaware of each one of his actions. Not only that, he's so sure of himself, the most misterious Needless villian. He's too interested in the Needless Hunt.

If Saten wanted he would have killed everyone long ago, but he won't.

All it's left is, why he does all that, why he helps the main cast, and specially, why Cruz is his experimental human body.

And with that said, next january 19 will be 6 years since Needless began serizalization

I think we'll get some of those questions answered or at leas hinted at soon. With Saten appearing at the end of 73, there'll be some development with him (and also Eve). It's just we don't know what he wants to do. I'll guess if we learn anything, we'll see what his strong connection with Eve is.

Also, that's amazing it's been going on for 6 years. Glad to see it's finally getting more attention/recognition.

You understand why we are so excited for the next chapter, right? Everytime Saten moves big developments happen.

As for his interest with Eve, it's because she's the Doppelganger, and she's supossed to have a byakugou that is missing too (read volume 3 for more info).

On the other hand, he doesn't give a shit about Blade other than prevent him from falling in Arclight's claws, at least until his plan is done. That's why I said Arclight's current inability to move is the best thing that could have happened for Saten's interests.

Something big happens, but it's not always about Saten. I'm looking for more development on Saten's character and about his background. I wouldn't be disappointed if this is all about Eve and Eve Project, but I'm looking forward to seeing if we can learn more about his character and his motives.

The first time Saten made an appearance near the main cast, he found how both Blade and Arclight were identical, wich lead the first to take the decision of taking Blade's body.

The second time, he revealed Eve was supossed to have a byakugou, but for unknown reasons is missing. He even knew Eve had the Doppelganger.

The third time, so many things happened: He let them have Kurumi's corpse, so Blade could copy her fragment and destroy the virus put into Eve's brain. Then he let Blade copy his fragment on purpose. Finally the most important one. After letting Aruka mortally wound Cruz, Saten faked defeat in order to let Eve bring Cruz back to life. During that process, Eve used her cells to atach Cruz's arm. After coming out from under the ruble, the first thing Saten did was looking at Cruz.

Finally, though it's not a development but more a detail, Saten called Blade "idiot" when he threw Arclight out of the building.

As you can see it's not about Saten but the main cast, specially Cruz and Eve.

Which is why this time I hope we learn more about Saten. You never did say that the developments were about Saten (which you're right), but I'm wondering when we get to see him progress as a character. Perhaps learn about his past, why he's doing some of the things he's doing, etc.

So I hope we learn about Saten in the next few chapters. I kinda doubt it and think they'll do him as one of the last (since his connection with Cruz) and this will probably be able Eve. Kinda wondering if they'll do Aruka near the end, too.

Does anyone know when the next chapter is due? Is it a monthly or bi-monthly basis?

It's monthly and Ultra Jump comes out the 19th of every month. However, there is usually a version out a lil bit before so it'll be a week or so before we see 74.

I was actually looking at a quick poll of who people's favorite characters were. Eve was first, Yamada (female cruz) was 2 and Mio was 3. Aruka was 4th (above Blade). Didn't realize how popular she is =P

where is this character poll? I want to see it
edit: nevermind found it
my favorites are cruz, blade, mio, aruka, eve
but i have to mention on the results announcement in the news section of his site it does not say female cruz it says transvestite cruz

Yes, I have my weakness, lol. (another reason I'm predicting Kuchinashi to show up again soon)

Anyway, it'll be interesting to see what happens with Blade&Co in the upcoming chapter. Since Eve is at the hospital in the guild, it means there'll be a reunion between Seto+Blade and the Guild. Wonder if there's any bad blood between them and if there'll be any conflict before they see Eve (unless she's missing).
